What percentage of marriages would you say are happy ones?

[Croatch]

Tax benefits.

I'm not sure if people know, but everything is geared towards "being married".  Bahhaha, bhaha...sheep.
Imagine how many industries would be crippled without people getting hitched.
I also find it funny how the same service, somehow triples if it's a marriage.
My favorite thing about marriage is when a couple has to tell everyone...I'm getting divorced...guess he wasn't the one.

There is no commitment in marriage.  There's more obligation in signing a one year lease on an apartment.
Much like popping a cherry, I think if you get married once, then divorced...you can marry no more.  Clearly you can't make it work.  That's the risk you take.  One chance fuckstick.

How is being married any different from just being in a relationship?  Same thing, other than a legal contract that binds assets.  Do you feel like a slave to your children?

Why on earth would anyone feel like a slave to his children ? I put my child on a plane to New York to see her cousins and stuff last week, i call her every day and text the crap out of her....can't wait for her to come home.

Here's the thing, those of us who have lived both lives...single and no children, and with children...can speak intelligently about both lives and choices....those who don't have kids quite simply don't know what the fuck they are talking about..they quite simply don't know how it feels. There is really no arguing that.

I don't know what it's like to get nailed in my ass either, but I'll assume it's not fun.
When I watch people with their kids, I think...yikes...one mistake I never made.  I go home with my girl and enjoy the evening, do whatever we want.  Meanwhile, some couple is going home with their whining kid.  I see it all the time at stores.  Not every kid is like that, but still.

Are you saying I am a sheep for using existing tax regulations?

[Croatch]

Are you saying I am a sheep for using existing tax regulations?

No, just because you bought into marriage.

if I had that car my life would be so much better

If I won the lotto my life would be so much better

If I get that promotion at work my life would be so much better

If I get that bigger house my life will be so much better

If I met the perfect girl my life will be so much better


Just like everything else we are all looking for that thing to make our lives better. The moment you start to 'externalize' your life, looking outward to fill a void, you are doomed. People go out and take out huge loans on cars, then realize that wasn't the answer and have to deal with the debt. People go out and get married and realize that wasn't the answer. Then they have kids and realize that wasn't the answer.

Not saying these things are bad if you have them, but people use material objects in the search for happiness, the same way we look for a partner.
We always resist what is. Be 100% happy and content with your life before you get married, otherwise the driving force to make those decisions will result in misery.

Most can't help to think this way since we men are hunters but I find it better to embrace our dna than to fight it. If anything, marriage and being with one woman until the day you die is unnatural. Having children is what we're here for but you will have to provide for them that's the catch.

I feel no need to reproduce.  Even though my genes are above average, I'm good with pulling out.
I marvel at people who confuse "being in love" with nutting in someone.   Smarten up.

[phreak]

So the smart thing would be for me to not get married, and purposely lose money? Come on, troll harder.

[El Diablo Blanco]

A high percentage but you never hear about them.  media likes to focus on negativity and the unique and not the mainstream.  Just look at how many millions of couples there are around you and most are happy.

I would agree with the tax break, but don't tell me you got married because you thought it meant more than living with a woman?
Or, if your wife makes more than you, then well played.
For a guy who makes more, there is literally no benefit to getting married...other than the tax break, which doesn't seem like enough.

[Clavins Dad]

You raise some interesting points.  Please expand on these.

It's not so much the reproducing as much as it is to be selfless and put someone else's well being above your own. This is what defines a man.

selfless=man?

uh oh, i'm in trouble then

Says who, you?  Putting someone else above yourself makes you a man?  Tell that to the leader of almost any country.
That's the funniest thing I've read in a bit.

I'm sure he takes care of his family very well...

It's about protecting your own.

You realize the numbers  aren't in your favor right ?

Pulling out ?  LOL.  Just a matter of time genius...until we hear Croatch gushing about being a Daddy.

me and you brother

Their is no such things as selfless.  Everything people do is for their own self interest.  In the case of children, the persons interest is to continue his genetic heritage.

I'm all for knocking someone out who messes with your girl, but that's about it.  How often does that ever happen though?
To just be about yourself is a bit lame, I'll agree.  But if I made the mistake of having a kid, he wouldn't run my life....like most parent do.

Take it back...that wasn't funny.
Remember kids in elementary school who would say, "Take it back."  Where are those pussies now anyway? hahah

Make sense of it in the most logical way you can in your head but until you stop fighting your natural instincts you will forever be a miserable weirdo on a bodybuilding forum.

LOL, How easily the sanctimonious are shattered.  Did what I said burst the little bubble of a world you were living in?  Where you telling yourself you were performing some selfless act by having children and this act made you a man.  LOL.  The things people tell themselves!  Having a child is probably the ultimate in selfish acts.  Hardly a selfless act. Kind of comical to see how people react when someone breaks it down for them.

LOL.

hey dude it is what it is,  we procreate, by accident or on purpose...most of us wind up knocking one out. It kinda keeps the species going

Ask Wiggs. He's on every dating site on the planet. How many women in their mid 30s have kids. Somebody is knocking these chicks up
